I would like to say a huge Thank You to Liz for making our trips to away games very enjoyable.I was very sad to hear at weekend that she has decided to retire from her post of bus convener..Im sure I can speak for all who travel to away games in saying you you will be greatly missed Liz but you deserve to sit back and enjoy the day along with the rest of us.Enjoy your retirement and Good Luck to whoever decides to take over .Liz will be a hard act to follow......Thank you .

The whole not marked "fire retardant" argument is quite laughable. Where's the risk of ignition coming from in this day and age when smoking is banned from stadia? How many people own clothing, hats & scarves that are worn to football that are marked "fire retardant"? The next time anyone is challenged on taking a flag into a ground on the basis of it not being marked "fire retardant", start stripping off yer clothes and showing them the labels.....see how far you get before the point sinks in!

Thanks I.C.T fans for all you kind words on MICKEY DIAMOND. you are all truly amazing as a Celtic fan I have to say HAIL HAIL to you all. I'm Mickey Diamonds friend in Aviemore my name is Toni. Mickey was I.C.T no 1 fan he loved your club with an incredible passion . I remember with great fondness (SUPER CALEY GO BALLISTIC CELTIC ARE ................ WELL YOU ALL KNOW THE REST). How proud he was at beating my beloved club and what crack we had. NOW THE THING IS I'VE GOT MIKEYS FLAG . AND I KNOW HE WOULD WANT YOU THE FANS TO HAVE IT TO CONTINUE THE STORY. SO WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH IT ?. WHO WANTS IT?. WHO DO YOU SUGGEST I PASS THE FLAG ONTO?.. It's intierly up to you all . SHOULD I GIVE IT TO THE CALEY CLUB?. Just three condition --- THE FLAG HAS TO FLY AT EVERY HOME GAME . IT HAS TOO BE IN THE SAME PLACE MICKEY PUT IT. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AFTER IT WITH PASSION REAL PASSION. So I.C.T U TELL ME . ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FROM ALL IN AVIEMORE AND FROM MIKES FAMILY. THERE'S ONLY 1 Mickey Diamond .

I recall Mikey Diamond being refused entry into St Johnstone two seasons ago, because the Steward said his flag wasn't marked fire retardant. Mikey went round to the ticket office, complained (I don't think they understood a word he said) and the outcome was that he was allowed in, with his flag. Hurray for Mikey - wouldn't let any steward stop him and his flag.

ICT Official Travel Club (CJT) are running a bus as usual to the game in Dundee this coming weekend. There has been a slight increase in price to £15 return, which is still great value for money. The bus will leave the Social Club at 10.15am and pick up at the Stadium at 10.30 and will drop off at the same points on return. Phone the Travel Line on 07951 309504 to book Ticket Info: Prices are Adult: Upper tier £22; Lower tier £19 Concession: Upper tier £12, Lower tier £10 (Concessions are Under 18, Full-time Students and Over 65s)

I see that Celtic have decided to shut down a section of their own stand, area 111 which is where this Green Brigade upstarts seemingly wont sit. Banned them all and offered to relocate them as they refuse to sit during games. Have to admit dont have much of a clue of what these bad bhoys are about, apart from allergy to poppies, british monarchs, anything blue and protestant. Well done Celtic, at least they are trying to do something, even if they use a false reason for doing it. Ironic that Rangers also need to get rid of their own Green brigade at the same time, you have to laugh

Well at least there is no real change in the organisation - one old biddy/ wummin fer another !!!

Ha ha! I thought our concession prices were high for a moment! Hopefully get a decent number along to support the lads. No more 3 - 0 head starts this time though.

Dougal is a troll. I wouldn't get worked up by what they post. Post unsolicited rubbish to get a reaction.

I'll ask some of the "young uns" if they want to adopt it under the conditions above. I have contacts.......

Ah more entertainment Strippers now eh

Allen and Watkins were both about 2 weeks away from returning the week prior to the start of the season so I would hope they would be returning to training this week at some point. Would imagine some U20 game time would be on the cards. I would go with the same team although might be inclined to go with Williams/Greenhalgh in place of Nick Ross. Eager to see how a more natural winger would get on out wide. By no means did Ross have a bad game on Saturday but I think its an area where we could be more threatening, i.e. beating one man and putting in a dangerous cross. Cant remember too many crosses coming in from Nick where as I remember about 5/6 from Raven and a few from Doran/Shinnie

I would be amazed if he took the Rangers job if offered.tbh. Although Terry himself is media friendly I get the impression he likes his private life kept private and living in the Highlands allows him to do that. That wouldnt neccessarily be the case in the Glasgow gold fish bowl.

If he went to Rangers he would be stepping into a very muddy puddle. And it might finish his career on a very sour note. The place is a hotbed of intrigue and infighting. Shambolic isn't the word for it, it seems. Staying at Caley Thistle is offering him great prospects for more success, stability and a growing reputation for success. At Rangers the whole thing could go into reverse....?

I thank Liz too for her work throughout the season and for making sure it was a very enjoyable trip down and back up the road!

What have the club done more this close season than recent years then? The club with its performances and final league position last season alone should have increased season ticket sales, think its a bit off for some to blame the club for not doing enough It's worrying that County will have more season ticket holders than us for the second year running but i very much doubt that it would effect Terry or the players on the park Maybe a recruiting drive by Caleyjagsforever is a more apt suggestion Dougal Please show the evidence to back this up. Also last year, Uncle Roy bought season tickets and then re sold them. This way initial figures looked like there were a large amount of tickets sold. No guarantee that the one he bought were then bought again. This also happened with the hospitality. Our sales are our sales. They are what they are and I am certain they are where they were last year. Our averages are the same as well. For those that go, the footie is better than ever so just enjoy it and stop fecking moaning.

Does that mean no more sweeties on the way back up the road?

Stuart McCall - he has links to Sheff Utd, like Green in the past and I wouldnt be surprised if thats the guy Green would go after, but he has to remove Sally first. Laughable that a team with the 2nd highest wage bill in Scotland was making excuses before the Forfar game that they had to make do with the 3rd division side and couldnt field any of their new signings - the investment and money into Murray Park over the years you would expect their U21 team to be good enough to beat some part time players (no offence to Forfar intended). The club, the people, the fans are a farce and with every story makes Scottish football more of a laughing stock.

1. Raigmore 2. Balloch (Inverness) 3. Around 1992/93 I think when I went with HislopsOffsideAgain to a couple of Highland matches involving Caledonian or Thistle. 4. Aberdeen ICT will always have a problem retaining a core precentage of its fanbase given that the Highland region has a high level of out migration in the 16 - 29 year age group. A lot of our fans fall into this age group but are likely to leave the area to head off to further education or to secure jobs. Whilst there are people coming into the area they are quite likely to already support a team so going along to an ICT game will not likely appeal to them.

I do agree, but by playing devils advocate regarding the games - Celtic - SPFL champs & odds on favouites for this years title, Dons, M'well - both billed as being major contenders for 2nd place, Thistle - the new team up, Hearts - the big club in major financial troubles (how will they cope) - then there is us playing Midden, a top 6 side facing what is likely a bottom 6 side. Not agreeing with the scheduling or the level of coverage - but when you look at it objectivly in light of the above, the other games probably had more interest to the majority to see how certain teams have progressed or developed. We will always be biased as fans, but give it time over the course of the season we will have more games towards the top end billing moving forwards - starting with next wk at utd.

Maybe penalty was a bit soft but makes a change for it to be in our favour.....How many times did their players throw themselves to the ground to get free kicks ....Great result for us just took a little time to get into game ,and we are top for at least one week , looking forward to Dundee United more of the same please ...

The continuing apathy of the Inverness footballing public is both surprising and disappointing but I really don't think it is the fault of the media. There will not be a soul in Inverness who doesn't know that we boast a top flight football team. Almost all will have an idea from the media that we have been relatively successful of late yet still they can't be bothered to come along in any numbers.

For once I need to back Dougal, and the bookies. Brora, Cove, Formartine and Nairn will be streets ahead of the rest this season. Buckie, Forres, Devornvale, Keith and the Broch will be ahead of the rest. Suprise of the highland league may be Strathspey Thistle, not that they might challenge for top half, but they could be well away from the Fort, Rothes and Lossie this season

I am guessing the announcer's choice of Rihanna's "diamonds" a little prior to kickoff may not have been coincidental........
